Despicable Me 2

This product is Excellent!

Despicable Me 2 is wonderful. As a parent of two (10 & 3) there are a lot of kids or family friendly movies that play frequently at our house. This movie (and Despicable Me) are two that I never grow tired of having on because not only are they good fun but they somehow manage to keep things fresh and entertaining even after you've seen them two dozen times.This movie takes place not long after the first, Gru has given up his criminal endeavors and is focusing on raising his three daughters and crafting a "delicious" line of jams and jellies. The tranquil life of parenthood proves elusive however as another villain has recently stolen a secret formula which can create mindless, indestructible super baddies. Helping Gru, aside from his trusty minions (who are hilarious as ever) is Penny, a wonderful sidekick and potential love interest on the hunt through the local mall to find out who isn't really who they seem to be.Thankfully, there is a lot going on in this picture that not only keeps kiddos entertained, but it also has some great material for parents. I would classify this as super safe family entertainment. There really isn't any themes or content that I grimace through and we, as a family, very much hope that this is a series that continues on (with the same cast of course). The minions might need their own spin off movie, those little guys are hilarious!

Product arrived quickly and in great condition. Thank you

I love all of the Despicable Me movies. This one is hilarious!

Too good to be true!

Obviously not as good as the original, but what I like about Despicable Me (as opposed to something like Shrek, for example), is that it actually has some charm and doesn't have to "be cool." The sequel tries to fill in some missing gaps and there's some fun, but maybe not as much as the first one, which is a gem. Anyhow, it's a worthy kid friendly film to enjoy in my opinion.

My kids have watched this movie multiple times. We highly recommend this movie and the first Despicable Me movie.P.S. People we've talked to sometimes get the various Minions-related movies mixed up. Please note that we do NOT recommend the first Minions movie, which has the character Scarlett Overkill...my eldest copies her every movement and motion. We tried to allow her to watch that Minions movie and tried to teach her not to copy Scarlett's bad traits and actions but we were not successful. So, while she's in this phase (2.5-3 yrs), we have decided to temporarily move it to our hidden DVD library :) until she's older and better able to understand our guidance. Other than Scarlett Overkill, whose character is too "over" the top for me, the Minions movie is funny and well-done; but, it is only suitable for older kids. I'm not an expert, but my personal recommendation would be for children at least 7-8 years old, depending on each child's maturity progression.

Some of us are blessed to know real minions, and they need the jolly reinforcement of seeing their brethren gathered en-mass in this film! The details of the art and film are overwhelmingly amazing, from the curly hairs on creature-dog Kyle's chin, to the underwater and jam sequences, the colors are delicious! There is even a love story here, quite delightfully done, along with mocking hideous, superficial puffed-up fake fish lips too prevalent in the plastic world today, anti-bullying, plus, pro-baldness, as there's nothin' wrong with less hair! And thank goodness for Minionese, we can't get enough of the little yellow guys. Good-hearted Gru and his girls Agnes, Edith, and Margo are a lovely family, and Anti-Villain League operative Lucy Wild is a treat. Only missed the Eminem song "Without Me" which we enjoyed in the previews. Pollito is a great touch - having been attacked by evil chickens, I know the truth. And you haven't lived until you see the minions bouncing around to Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime," or the Village People's "YMCA!" We can't wait till "Despicable Me 3"! Pierre Coffin is a genius.
